Man must first create peace in himself if he desires to see peace in the world; for lacking peace within, no effort of his can bring any result. Bowl of Saki, July 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Our spirit is the real part of us. The body is but a garment.

The heart sleeps until it is awakened to life by a blow; it is as a rock, and the hidden fire flashes out when struck by another rock. Bowl of Saki, June 27, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The sorrow of the lover is continual, in the presence and in the absence of the beloved: in the presence for fear of the absence, and in absence in longing for the presence.
